Training pays off

[flexagon]

In the park last Sunday I took The Bad Fall from standing h2h for the first time in well over a year. Scooper had pressed me up to exended, and we started to lose it up there, so he brought it back down to shoulder height... trouble being that, for whatever reason, it came down with a jolt that broke my shoulder line. I planched forward and my face pitched straight down, and I squeaked in fear and dismay.

And then? We had time to react. I kept my arms engaged, we both kept our grip, Scooper pulled UP as hard as he could: all the right things. I tumbled, and landed with one butt cheek on the ground, no harder than I've landed from L-basing a million times.

SO GRATEFUL, people. All that training. Whew.

*That* is why we train: so that when things do go wrong, they might not actually go too terribly wrong. Glad you're ok!
